San Diego is the holy grail of vert skating. There is no place on earth with more perfect vertramps. The scene is great. Next to 3 stinking Europeans there were tons of shredding kids and even the females were there.

4. What was the best event on the trip?

S/S: Da gab es Einige. Neben der DC Ramp, Tony HawkRamp, Woodward

Übungsrampe, der nostalgischen Vans-Combi-Bowl-Session und des

massiven San Jose Skateparks, war wohl die Mega Ramp in Camp Woodward

West eines der Schlüsselerlebnisse auf unserem Trip.

There were many. The DC Ramp. Tony Hawks ramp, Woodward, Vans Combi Pool and the massive San JosePark. The Mega Ramp at Woodward was the key event on the trip.

5. What was the worst event?

S/S: Definitiv Bernt's "Unfall". Er hatte sich direkt in der ersten

gemeinsamen Session in der DC Ramp sein Handgelenk gebrochen. Nach

qualvollen 5-6h Wartezimmer bekam Er dann endlich seine wohlverdiente

Morphium Ration.

Definitely Bernts accident. He broke his wrist during the first session on the DC Ramp. After 5-6 hours in the waiting room he got his morpium shot and was relieved of massive pain.

A lot!!! The most interesting was Jerry Madrid. To hear about the roots of skateboarding from an original was more than first class for us. Adding to this were allowed to share a week of his life and he kindly offered us to live at his place.
